A GOOD CLINIC DAY

Wednesday I was able to see a new patient (my husband's friend) and I noticed a bit more confident with my intrumentation in general, my ergonomics habits have improved, and I missed less sots than I did the previous clinic day. The appoitment went smooth and I was able to take a good set of x-rays. Really, the x-ray holders save me everytime! Also, I was able to finish my patient being more detail oriented this time, which means that I was able to have the treatment plan already printed out and ready to go by the time I had to get my OD check. I didn't have to use the ultrasonics and it was kind of nice. I need all the intrumentation practice I can get! Lastly, I was able to use my patient as an exam patient and it went well! I just need to remember that Class I classification in normal, class II teeth go back and class III teeth go forward!

The adventure continues monday with my first pedo patient! Here we go!

RE-SEALANT PE

Today I had my husband come back to get his selanats done. Everything went really smooth and calm. I was able to seal all the teeth planned but one. When I had one of the modtown denists check on his tooth #4 he said that there was a little shadow and that he might have an incipient cavity. I am referring my husband then to our regular dentist just to make sure that it is or not ok to seal. I also got aquanted today in how to do the insurance reimbursement. It will be a little time cinsuming but I think I can get it done and send it off this week to our insurance offices. I learnt today that before cleaning the area with a prohy brush I need to put some water in the tooth area or prophy brush before cleaning the tooth surface area. No idea! I also learnt that I am lucky to be booked till mid february already! Hope I can keep my patients.

Keep on going...
